+# Bangladesh Core FHIR Implementation Guide (BD-Core-FHIR-IG)
+
+The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) is leading the development of the **Bangladesh Core FHIR Implementation Guide (BD-Core-FHIR-IG)** as part of implementing the **Bangladesh Digital Health Blueprint**.  
+
+This initiative is designed to ensure that health information systems in Bangladesh can work together seamlessly. By following **internationally recognized standards**, Bangladesh is not only strengthening its own health data governance but also creating the foundation for **cross-border health information exchange** in the future.  
+
+For patients, this means clear benefits:  
+- Their health information will move more smoothly between hospitals, clinics, and programs.  
+- Duplicate tests and procedures can be reduced, saving both time and cost.  
+- Patients will experience better continuity of care when moving between providers or even across borders.  
+
+The Implementation Guide is available at:  
+👉 [https://fhir.dghs.gov.bd](https://fhir.dghs.gov.bd)

+
+## Why this matters
+- Supports the **national blueprint for digital health implementation**.  
+- Provides a **trusted reference** for all stakeholders in the health sector.  
+- Builds the pathway for **internationally compatible digital health services**.  
+- Ensures that the **patient remains at the center** of the health information ecosystem.
